solutions for the most pressing Web Services requirements. The
workshop results will be used in setting directions at W3C with
respect to this vital technology area. Input is sought from
researchers, developers, technology managers, tool builders, users,
and other interested parties.

There are a great many relationships to existing Semantic Web
efforts as well as to existing Web Services development, including:
Semantic Web background technologies; e.g. RDF, OWL
Web Services background technologies; e.g. SOAP, WSDL
Registries, taxonomies, and search mechanisms; e.g. UDDI
Rule languages; e.g. SWRL
Ontologies for Web Services; e.g. OWL-S, WSMO
Web Services Choreography; e.g. WS-CDL
Business process; e.g. BPEL4WS
Discussion of the relationship of these areas to the workshop topic is
encouraged.
We are looking forward to your participation and contributions to this
workshop.
